Hamas chose this to be a war zone by firing rockets from there and building tunnels there and holding hostages there.
IDF didn't choose Gaza to be the battlefield, Hamas chose it.
If Hamas can't stand the heat, maybe they should step out of the kitchen.
Actually, its part if a Palestinian campaign to destroy Israel. Israel did offer a two state solution multiple times. Its the Palestinians that reject the right of Israel to exist, not the other way around.
Sacrificing their own population to gain support doesn't make them right.
There is no genocide. Speaking of it as if it was a proven fact is a mean rhetoric trick.
With the current situation in Israel we might see ethnic cleansing in a few years but we're not there yet.
Do you know what will prevent a future genocide? Finding a better way for Israel to protect itself against Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists. That will also be the only way to get Israel to exit the west bank.
I'm just here to say that any country that uses its civilians to protect its army can't complain about genocide, especially when the opposing army is giving them a chance to move away from the battlefield in advance.
Nope, what you'll get is more import, and strategic dependency on food producing countries.
Didn't the US stop doing this 20 years ago?
Besides, it's still better than Iran, and Russia. Fewer dead. Less economic strife, much much less injustice.
There are more Palestinians in Israel than in the west bank. They can all vote and they have parties in the Israeli parliament.
Also, Gaza hasn't been part of Israel for almost 20 years.
Israel is actually the only country in the middle east where Palestinians can vote and get elected.
It's called symbiosis. They both profit from it.
How do I know? Because it evolved. Why did it evolve? Because it gives them an advantage.
I think it is quite obvious: to destroy the Hamas infrastructure and to kill as many Hamas militants as possible, while minimising Israeli casualties.
If you have a better suggestion for how to destroy Hamas' ability to continue to attack Israel I'm sure they would love to hear it.
That is the same guilty rate as Israel's internal convictions and is caused by police not bothering with anything that is not an easy win.
The administrative detention also has judicial checks and limitations. Also, these are not random people picked off the streets, these are terrorists or would be terrorists where, for the most part, the evidence for detaining them is too sensitive from intelligence point of view to share in a trial.
Hamas surrender would PREVENT Israel from occupying Gaza. If Hamas wouldn't have taken the hostages in the first place Israel wouldn't have attacked Gaza.
Is the current Hamas strategy working for the Gazans civilians?
So yes, if you want to support Gazans civilians, and prevent Israel from occupying Gaza, you should push Hamas to surrender and return the hostages.
Exactly.
